I don't have permission to access my C drive!

Question:I don't have permission to access my C drive!

On my new win7 home 64bit system I wanted to share my drives so that it would work with my other winxp computer as well so I used the trick of assigning permission to "Everyone" on all my drives. This worked great (better than the homegroup). However today I decided it wasn't a great idea to share the C drive so I removed permissions for "Everyone" on the security tab thinking I was just undoing the ability to share it. OOOPS. Big mistake. Now I can't access the C drive at all even though my user acount is labled as an administrator. When I select the Security tab of the C drive properties I get the dreaded "You do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings."

I tried safe mode, but I get that same dreaded message.I added a "Take Ownership" context menu (using the Ultimate Windows Tweaker), but when I right click on the c drive and click on "Take Ownership" is appears to do nothing.

Damn, damn ... I've been working away configuring my new computer and I haven't done a full Acronis backup of the C drive for three days. (I know - that was stuuupid.) I can go back to that backup, but that means many hours of work lost. Please someone tell me it is possible to undo the removal of permissions to my C drive. HELP!!!!

I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.

As an update to my sad situation described above, I tried systemrestore figuring that would get me back most of my work. However system restore just reported "Access Denied". Evidently I need to access the c drive to restore it. Darn again.

I also tried booting to safe mode and running "cmd" as an administrator (using my usual windows account). Then I typed the command:

takeown /f C:\ /r /d y

However I got the message "ERROR: Access is denied."

Personally I feel there should be no one way switches in any software. Sooner or later someone is going to switch it, and if you can't switch it back and you need to ... well that is more than frustrating.

I have 2 partitions on one of my HD's. I can access one of them (F) but not the other (D) apparently due to a permission problem. Here is a screen shot of the Advanced Security Settings for each. Note the permissions for D: are not the same as F:. How can I give full control to (Users)Windows10\Users) or at least my user name?

Thank you very much.

Answer:Cannot Access a Drive -- Permission Problen

Do you note the "Applies to" column? The permission only applies to the root folder only, not including its subfolder and files. Here's how to grant full access to the "Users" group:Click on the Add button.In the "Select User or Group" dialog box, click on Advanced... button.Click Find Now. Select "Users" group and click OK.You can then tick the permission "Full control", select "This folder, subfolders and files" under the "Apply to" drop-down box.Click OK. Done.

Hi I get the following error when attempting to access my drive,"You don't currently have permission to access this folder. Click Continue to permanently get access to this folder."Upon clicking Continue, another error pops up,"You have been denied permission to access this folder. To gain access to this folder you will need to use the security tab."Security tab is an underlined link that opens the properties manager for the drive however there is no security tab, I assume because the flash drive is considered a virtual drive, which is typical, so I can't take ownership of the drive as suggested by all the Google searches I did.This is GIGABYTE laptop runs Win 8.1 single language, 64-bit, upon testing my flash drive in other desktops around the office, it works perfectly fine, it also works just fine on my desktop at home but not on my laptop. The account on my laptop is also an admin however I am the only user

HiI have lost the ability to access a mounted drive.Previously, I would mount the drive and it would immediately open, saying it was Q: shared drive...). I have never had a problem before.

The drive is from a True crypt encrypted file - I can mount the drive by entering the password to True Crypt, no problem. It mounts, shows up as local disc Q:, but when I click on it, it will not open and I get a message saying 'You don't currently have permission to access this folder'.When I follow the directions to security, and access the properties, I add my user name and tick full control but it the says:An error occured when trying to share Q, access is denied. The shared resource was not created at this time.I have also tried giving permission to 'Everyone' but the same thing happens.

Please could I have some help - it would be much appreciated!(This is complicated by the fact I have been having other problems today. Basically,I used HP Support Assistant to download updates for my laptop, since then I cannot open the devices and printers box - it just hangs and does not populate. I have done system restores, followed instructions from this forum about turning on bluetooth support, printer spooling, resetting explorer, but nothing has worked. I have then gone to open this mounted folder and found it doesn't work.Getting rather stressed about the whole thing.)

Hi
I have lost the ability to access a mounted drive.
Previously, I would mount the drive as Q: and it would immediately open, saying it was Q: Microsoft Office Click-to-run (Protected). I have never had a problem before today.

The drive is from a True Crypt encrypted file - I can mount the drive by entering the password to True Crypt, no problem. It mounts, shows up as local disc Q:, but when I click on it, it will not open and I get a message saying 'You don't currently have permission to access this folder'.
When I follow the directions to security, and access the properties, a tab for sharing comes up but nothing labelled Security - is that a problem?

In sharing, I give full control to 'Everyone', go back to the advanced sharing and select apply but it then says:
'An error occured when trying to share Q, access is denied. The shared resource was not created at this time.'

Also, I chose Q: to mount the encrypted drive at random.
I just googled click-to-run and realise that choosing Q: was probably unfortunate as it means something in relation to click-to-run (I had no idea about what the click-to-run meant, it just appeared that way the first time I mounted the drive, which worked, so I didn't think it mattered)
Is the choice of the Q drive causing the problem here?

Please could I have some help - it would be much appreciated!

Answer:Have lost permission for access to mounted drive

Greetings, vickyj93, and welcome to MajorGeeks...

I'm not understanding why you're trying to access and/or mount that Q: drive. As far as I know, that's a protected virtual drive created by a Microsoft Office installation - I have the same on a couple of my machines (see attached screenshot), and I have never had occasion to try to access the drive, yet MS Office works just fine.

As far as your other problems: do you have a Windows disk and/or the HP recovery disks?.

This is a new computer. I connected to external USB drives to this computer. One is a traditional 1TB hard drive and the other is a 240 gb ssd drive. My problem is that on the traditional drive, I can not access one of my files. On the SSD drive, I can see the drive listed by can not access. I get a message that states I do not have permission to access. These work fine on my old HP computer but for some reason do not work on this new machine. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

When I look on the Security tab of the drive's properties I see: Group or usernames: Authenticated Users SYSTEM Administrators (MyComputer\Administrators) Users (MyComputer\Users

Now if I click on "Advanced" option. I get a page where I can change permissions for the users in the ACL. Suppose I click on "Edit".I get a page named Permission Entry for Local Disk, where I can change permissions.On the same page we have "Apply to" option, which we can use if we want to apply thosepermissions specifically on folders or subfolders or only files.

My question, what command we need to use if I want to change the permission and apply themto specific folders or subfolders or files for a particular user in ACL. using command line.

Any help is appreciable. ThanksPrince

Have looked at the other postings about Windows 7 and "You need permission" - this one seems new. I have a laptop and a desktop both running Windows 7, both part of HOMEGROUP.

The desktop has two hard drives (C and D), both shared with full access to EVERYONE.I can see both but can only update the D drive on the desktop from the laptop. When I try any update (new folder, copy a new file in, etc.) to the C drive, I get the "You need permission" error.

Have tried turning off sharing then turning back on for the C drive and have compared the sharing between C and D - they appear identical. Snipit of C drive permission attached. Any thoughts or ideas on what else to try would be appreciated.

On Windows7 Pro, trying to run IIS. The way I am used to execute is on the browser "localhost". I used to have the code in the directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot. Even before I copy, I am hoping to see

I recently had to replace my vista Home Premium operating system. I have my photograph stored on two external hard drives. I am able to access the music and documents on the external hard drive, but not the photographs. When I try to open a folder I am given the message that I do not have "permission to access this folder". How can I be granted that permission to ALL the photo folders ( app 50) on that hard drive at the same time? Very aggravating situation !!!

One tutorial that might help you :Permission : note - it applies to both Vista and Win 7Sharing and Permissions - Windows 7 Forums

Recent changes:
We recently removed 5 out of 6 total 2008R2 DCs from our environment and promoted 5 x 2016 servers as DCs. We are still running the domain functional level @ 2008R2 however.
Single forest 2 domain environment
Shortly have recent changes (stated above) the issue started with 5 users in parent domain. After existing user logs in applications like windows explorer, internet explore, will error with "windows cannot access the specified
device, path or file. you may not have the appropriate permission to access the item". Also, other applications will not run as they are attempting to resister OCX file and DLLs. cannot access computer management even after granting affected
user local admin rights. This issue has now transcended to child domain and is affecting at the moment only 1 existing user.
Unaffected users are able to login to same test computer and run applications without issue.
Clearly a domain permission problem with the user account, but not sure how to proceed.
For testing I gave affected users domain admin rights and the issue goes away. Remove domain admin rights and the issue returns for the user.
Any ideas?

I am attempting to access an application.exe file on my desktop. Each time that I click on it the Windows message, "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." pops up. I am the system administrator so this should NOT be a problem but apparently many out there are dealing with this as well. I can delete, move and even copy the file but I cannot run it. There is no option for override with password or grant permission. It just says that I cannot run it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, the system I am running is Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Answer:Windows can't access file. May not have permission to access.

Hello KyRy, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You might check to see if you can right click on the file, click on Properties, click on Security tab, and make sure that you have Read & execute permission allowed (checked) for your user account or the administrators group.Permissions - Allow or Deny Users and GroupsIf not, then you might see if you may be able to install and use the free program Unlocker on the file to have access to it afterwards.

Answer:Access Denied You don't have permission to access

For starters, where are you trying to access it from? Is this an Internet connection from home, college, business, etc? If it's a home connection, perhaps you should speak with your ISP to see if there are any issues. As for business and colleges: the people in charge of networking at these respective establishments would be the best bet.

Answer:appropriate permission to access

What program are you trying to install? Does it tell you what device/path/file is causing the problem?

I think this is my first problem i have encountered since i bought my laptop which is running vista. Ok, maybe it;s been only a few months but still...Also, i wasn;t sure in which section this should have gone, so if i messed up i apologize.

Basically, i installed World of Warcraft and it's expansions and started patching it. When patching from 3.1.0 to 3.1.1, the process kept stoping and 70% then just exit without returning any error in return. So i thought i should run the Repair tool and try again. Only now, when i tried to access WoW.exe i got this error:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

So i came upon this little reg file called Take Ownership, i ran it but nothing has changed. Also, if i: right click wow.exe->properties->compatibility i cannot tick the "Run this program as an administrator" box.

My only options now, are a complete reinstall of the game and patches (but that's just wrong, because there has to be a more logical solution). If anybody has any ideas please let me know. I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Hi everyone, this is my first post.Let me first apologize for my english :-)I need your help because i'm getting crazy with some computer.My office lan is quite heterogeneous : some PCs are in a local domain, other not yet.

One computer (let's call it PC-A) is a winxp professional SP2 with a shared folder for wich Guest and Everyone account permission are set up. This computer is not joined to the local domain.

The problem is that some computer (Win7) can access it and its shared folder , others can not.

More specifically i have a pc (PC-B) with Windows 7 Enterprise, not joined to the local domain , with a static ip that can access PC-A both with \\computername and \\ipaddress.Another pc (PC-C) not joined to local domain, static ip, win 7 enterprise cannot access PC-A in any way (\\computername or \\ipaddress) but the ping works and so the remote desktop on PC-A.

A third PC (PC-D) , with win7 enterprise, is joined to the local domain(with DHCP and DNS server configured) and cannot access PC-A (the same as PC-C) . In local domain a DHCP server provides ip addresses in the same class of other pc in the lan not yet joined.

Hoping i was clear and provided the necessary information.Can you help me to resolve this problem?Thank you.

Have you tried making adjustments to the local security policy which would allow access to shares on the XP machine from anonymous users?

I'm hoping someone can help me. Recently my laptop has started denying me access to most of my programs. I cannot access any program that does not have the Run as Administrator option. I have Windows Vista and as far as I know I haven't changed any of the settings or security so I'm not sure why it is doing this all of a sudden. The code that I get reads as follows:

"Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."Can anybody tell me how to fix this?

Hi folks,First, yes I have searched the forum and looked at other threads with the same error message but haven't found anything that helps. If I've missed something relevant please let me know.

System Acer Aspire all in oneWin 7 Home premium 64 bit SP1

Problem description.I am re-deploying a computer. I created a new admin user, then deleted all existing users. After a lot of sweat I found out about and applied the hotfix for KB article 2866086 and now all but the original admin users profile directories stay deleted!!!

However I still can't get rid of the original admin user's files. I have gone through the change ownership routine and turned UAC off but all that has done is that now when I log in as the new admin and try to delete the files I am told that I need permission from the login I'm currently using!!!

To add to my confusion, properties shows the root directory (C:Users/Old admin name) as containing > 7000 files and > 1000 folders. It is also shown with a lock symbol on the root folder although it is not shared. If there was a file equivalent in Windows for 'kill -9' I would have nuked the bloody thing.

I've even tried explaining that if it doesn't behave I'll re-program it with an axe, but Win 7 developers obviously haven't read The Hitchhikers Guide.

Short of reinstalling the OS from scratch has anyone got any useful suggestions?

Thanks in anticipation

Answer:Don't have permission to access folder - yet again

When I've run into stubborn cases I have booted to a Linux LiveCD or LiveDVD and deleted from within its file manager.

Greetings all. I've a new from the box HP Pavillion with Win 7 6GB Ram, 640 GB HD, etc. I'm trying to get Thunderbird installed and transfer over my profile from my old laptop. The problem is that I need access to C:/Users/ME/ Application Data / ... etc so I can paste in my old email data also from Thunderbird. My access permission stops at "ME". I've looked at the permission properties via security settings and it shows that I have full control yet any effort to expand the data directory tree into Applications Data fails. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Answer:Access Permission on Win7

Download MozBackup and backup Thunderbird on the old laptop. Now move MozBackup to your new system and restore to the newly install Thunderbird. And its just that easy...

I have three computers, and I'm running Quickbooks accounting software on all three. Quickbooks requires all three computers to connect to the company file, stored on one computer. The file is stored on a computer called OFFICE, and OFFICE runs windows 8.1 pro. The other two computers are SHOP, running 7 pro, freshly installed at the end of december, and TOMMY, also running a fresh install of 7 pro as of last Friday. All windows copies are legitimate copies from Microsoft.

Originally, I set the network up wirelessly, and all three were communicating properly. However, quickbooks shuts down if communication to the host is lost even for a moment, and is not supposed to be compatible with wireless connections. So on Monday, I made some CAT5, ran it from each computer to the router, and got everyone hooked up to the internet. My cable tester was bad and gave me a false positive on one of my cables, resulting in me reinstalling the NIC driver in an attempt to get SHOP to recognize that it was plugged in. Eventually figured out I'd gotten a false positive, retipped the cable, and got connected properly.

Now for our network, I tried to set up set up shared files. I gave everyone permission to read/write to the file, but SHOP could not access the file. So I set up a windows homegroup on OFFICE and had TOMMY and SHOP join it. TOMMY and OFFICE can both see each other on the homegroup, but neither can see SHOP. SHOP can see both TOMMY and OFFICE. I removed all three from th... Read more

Answer:Cannot access [computer]. You may not have permission.

i run a network with quickbooks also. it is a pain. check the hosts file, go to computer, windows, system32, drivers, etc folder. open it in notepad. at the bottom, you should have the ip address and computer name of the server on the clients. there are examples in there to show you how to add them. if this is the case, then i would suggest paying for a quickbooks tech to remote onto your system and help. but first, try the forums on their site, i have used them and they are pretty good, just not too fast if you're in a hurry. quickbooks is pretty reasonable with their rates, and when they remote in, you don't have to do anything, although i would take notes while watching, i did.

New laptop that will not allow me to access certain folders. I have gone into the Folder option in the Control Panel and marked off show me everything but when I attempting to access the "Documents and Settings" folder in the C drive I'm denied access.

There is only one person created for the computer......... me. The computer also shows a "owner".

So the questions is how do I change the "permissions" to give access to all folder on the C drive?

Answer:Permission to Access Folders

Documents and Settings isn't actually a folder, it a Junction (aka Reparse Point or Symbolic Link) pointing to the new location, which is C:\Users. Users (Even the Administrator) don't have access to the Junctions so they don't accidentally get moved or deleted, which could make programs not written for the new locations to stop working, or even crash.You can give yourself access on the Security tab (right click, click Properties), but there is nothing inside to access.

Lots of folders have changed from XP. Just takes a while to get used to it.Here's a few of the new locations:My Pictures, My Music, My Videos–Where did they go?And more info:More on Vista Reparse Points

Hi, i have this problem that i cannot solve. i know why it happened but i was kinda trying stuff without really knowing what i was doing, so now i turn to this forum cause i tried all i could think/find and i still cant solve my mistake.

I had two HD, C: with XP pro sp3 and linux (dual boot)D: formated in ntfs with all extra data (songs, video, reports, receipt etc..)

When i had these two working normally, i needed to restrict the access of the second HD (the D to only one computer on the network so i messed around with the permission. I ended up deleting the whole list; it was looking like this (under the security tab of the HD properties)"Administrator""SYSTEM" "User" X\username"

So i deleted these, it gave me problems , then i found how to re-take owner ship. but i only re-added

"User" X\username

i could then again access my files on the D: . but i still couldnt share my files as i wanted for some reason. so i decided to re-install windows...big mistake!!

I formated the C:, re-installed windows on it, no problem with that. But now i see the second HD in windows explorer as RAW and access is denied. Meaning the HD is detected and listed there, but the used space and total space amount is not showing, if i click properties, instead of NTFS its says RAW. If i try to open it to explore the content, i get an access denied message.

I tryied chkdsk it did some things (looked like it was changing stuff, but i cant see a... Read more

Hello Everyone, because I didn't want people to access my files and I needed to leave my PC turned on in the office, I went to my drive E properties, then security tab then edit and switched my controls from Full control "Allow" to "Deny" locked with a password. I checked it wasn't opening. There we go! Success.
Later on
Failure;
Because now even though I have the password removed, I re-installed my windows 7 to the same 32-bit version. It isn't opening
I changed the controls from full control "Deny" to "Allow" but I can't get access to them. I tried opening it somehow(don't exactly remember how) but still if I have to open up any of the files, I'll have to go to that particular sub folder and file to the properties, security tab, allow full controls and then it opens.
Now I have more than 8 thousand files in it.
Moreover, after re-installing my windows, I can't open my files anyway.
Can someone please help me. I'm assuming this website will notify me if someone leaves a reply to this thread.

So I installed smartlaunch just to try it on my pc then I uninstalled it and then what happened is: When I restarted my pc I got a message saying "You dont have currently permission to access this folder" by desktop folder I clicked continue and I got that message "You have been denied permission to access this folder".Checked the security tab and nothing changed I am still the administrator and I have full permissions.What can I do?

Hello i am trying to use a keygen for avg and i can not seem to open it due to an error message. I have tried allowing the program in avg and going into the nvidia control panel to turn of the supposed firewall but it was not there and i still get the message please help.

My desktop computer was on and then the power went out. After the power came back up, it would not boot into windows and I get a message telling me to start the recovery console and to try to repair windows. I did and that didn?t work. So I checked on the Microsoft site and found the procedure ?Guided Help to recover a corrupted registry that prevents Windows XP from starting? This procedure has three steps 1. Copy the five registry files to a backup location and then copy the files from the repair folder to the system folder, 2. Copy the five registry files from a restore snapshot to a temp location and rename them, 3. Then copy the renamed files to the system folder.

I am running win XP SP2 on a power spec PC.

So I ran the first step of this procedure and got the PC to boot into windows. I was not able to run step two or three because there were no restore points. The system restore was never turned on. In addition, all of the former user accounts were gone and only the OEM accounts were present. Because of this I don?t have access to anything including running the user setup in control panel. I get a message that the device, folder, or file is not available. You may not have permission to access these??

Im having trouble accessing an external hard drive. It says this when i try to access C:\Users i can view the rest of the hard drive though. When i go to change ownership it goes through the files and gets stuck on one particular file 3/4 times now and wont get past the one folder. Any ideas?

Thanks

Answer:You don't currently have permission to access this folder

The easiest solution is this: Add "Take Ownership" to Context Menu of Files, Folders, and Drives

Hi,I have copied my photos to a portable hard drive for backup purposes and can see them and print them but I do not have permission to copy or move them to another location either on the remote drive or to my pc.The file permission is owned by root (Unix User\root).I have tried altering this via the file or its folder properties but once again I do not have permission.I have tried this on my desktop (windows XP)and my laptop (windows 7).I am the administrator on both PCs.

Answer:File access permission

"The file permission is owned by root (Unix User\root)."Really? That's an indication that the files were on a Unix server, and if that's the case the file owner has to modify the permissions using the chmod command.

This is strange, because I was able to copy the folder the file is in, from the Downloads folder to my Desktop.. but now suddenly I don't have permission to access the file?

EDIT:~~~~~~~~~~Mod, I see you moved this thread from the security section.. ( I thought it belonged there since it is a security issue) But.. you renamed the title.. it was called " Baseball Bat - Meet Computer !" Why did you rename my thread? Change it back. I named the thread that title for a reason. I want my title back!

Edit, I am trying to change my title back from the Advanced Editor.. I still wish to know why you would do such a thing.

Edit: It only created a sub title. Please change my main title back.~~~~~~~~~~

I also notice that under Properties, and the Security tab, I cannot change the permissions. I should be able to as I AM the administrator.

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere - if it has I couldn't find it - but I'm using Windows 7 and there seems to be two icons for My Documents. When I double click one of them I get the message 'You do not have permission to access this folder' which is very annoying especially since this used to happen with Vista and I'd hoped MS would've fixed the problem. Are there any solutions?

Answer:You do not have permission to access this folder!

The location of XP folders like Documents & Settings and History are no longer in the same place. They are displayed when ?hidden files? are displayed but they are ?Junctions?, i.e. they are there for historical reasons so that old programs that would normally use them are redirected to the new Vista and Windows 7 locations. Junctions can be recognised by having a little padlock on the icon and cannot be accessed.You can see a list of these folders using a command prompt. Click the Windows Orb (Start) > Run, type cmd /k dir /al (note the three spaces) and press Enter. The results will be a list of all the Junctions for the user folders, showing the name of the old XP user folder and the name of the new folder in brackets.

I have tried to follow the steps to take ownership of the printer but when I right click on properties the only tabs are 'General' and 'Hardware'-- no 'Security' tab. So, I can't follow the rest of the steps. How do I find the printer through Windows Explorer?

I am the only user on my computer and I am the admin, but when I transferred my files from the old computer to the new, I was added as a User due to the old settings.Now, when I want to access anything, I have to go through the permissions spiel.Is there a way to change this so I have access to everything?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I recently just did a complete new install from Windows 7 7227 to Windows 7 7600 RTM.

The issue isI have 2 HD's installed on My Computer. One is System (for my OS) and one is Logical (for my stuff). Before I did a complete install and was running on Windows 7 7227, I had My Music folder attached to a folder I made with other music on it, on my other HD (Logical Drive) so if I reformatted, I would still have My Music on my other drive.

But, now that I've reformatted and did a clean install, I've tried to attach my folder with my music in it to the My Music folder and it just keeps seem to be giving me an error prompt, so I went into my other HD and opened my music folder and now I can't seem to play any music tracks that's inside the folder.

You don't currently have permission to access this folder. Click Continue to permanently get access to this folder.

I've went through the procedure that it gives me to get permission but when I applyed it, it only does it to the folder, not the sub folders or files. Can anyone help me to restore it back to the previous version so I can fully access it without any problems.

Hi! I have a strange problem accessing one partcular website and no other. Whenever I try to access reflexive.net from my home computer I get the following: Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.

The box pops up on just about everything, IE - some shortcuts to some site work fine, others hive the message.My Computer properties, word, excel just about every program.

Answer:You don't currently have permission to access this folder

Hello DJCool, and welcome to Eight Forums.

You might see if taking ownership of the XP drive with the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects box checked, then set permissions to "Allow" your account "Full control" of the drive may allow you to have access afterwards.

I was trying to network the C drives of my wireless notebook and my wired desktop, but i couldn't quite get it to allow access to all subfolders of the c drives. so i went to a form, found a related issue, and followed the steps. somehow i completely locked myself out of my c drives. now i cannot boot them up. (im assuming because i locked the entire drive out somehow. i took it even further to try to reinstall windows xp on both. but after deleting xp and trying to install a 'fresh copy'. that failed too, because...im assuming the 'lock out' would not allow for a fresh copy to be installed. first how can i grant permissions back so i can get windows back up, without loosing all my files and programs already installed, (not formatting the entire drive) specifically my music. 2nd: i managed to install the factory version of vista on my desktop. (which is how im writing in these fourms) all of my files are still on the hard drive. but 'not here' (i can find them in a search but not available to be fully accessed i guess) im assuming because im running windows in a separate partitioned space? so how to i change it so i can keep vista, or reinstall windows (i dont really care which) and have full access to all my original files as if they are still there, like before? also i cant even boot in safemode. hope there is some help out there.

I have recently set up a mixed network using a Belkin G125 Router connected to the main computer by Ethernet and by USB wireless adapter to the second computer. The main computer can access shared files and a Printer on the second computer. The second acomputer can access the printer functions of an all in one Photo printer but not the scanner. It cannot access shared files on the main computer. The second computer uses Windows Firewall. The main computer has this disabled but uses Zone Alarm firewall with the second computer in the trusted zone. Turning Zone Alarm off makes no difference. Any suggestions?

Answer:Access permission on mixed network

I have a folder on a Windows 2003 server that will not allow me to change securities / permissions / delete. The security tab is completely missing from the folders properties. I have tried to propagate security / ownership permissions from the parent folder and always get "Access Denied".

I also found a utility from Microsoft called fsutils (which pertains to DFS mainly) that supposedly forces a delete, but it did not work.

Edit 1: I just tried cacls through DOS to try to force admin permissions to the folder with no luck.Edit 2: Just download xcacls from Microsoft and received the same "Access is Denied" message.

Thanks.

Answer:Regaining Folder Permission / Access

I suppose the silly question is in order: did you try booting in to safe mode? Or command prompt? (You say you used DOS, but you could've been running this while in a regular Windows session--just want to make sure that is covered.)

Recently I have been setting up a workgroup network comprising three Win 7 PCs and one XP PC.

Two of the Win 7s can each access the other three PCs, but the third Win 7 says that I cannot access one of the other two Win 7s because I don't have permission. Previously I could so by entering my username and password. I have turned off this requirement on all PCs, but even if I try to restore it I no longer get the opportunity to enter username and password to access the other PC. So everything works on the network except this weird refusal.

The XP can access the other three PCs, except strangely I need to enter username and password when accessing one of the three. Annoying, but I will wear it.

The inability to access one Win 7 PC from one of the other two Win 7 PCs is obviously much more of a problem. I would be ecstatic if I had to enter username and password rather than getting a straightout refusal.

I have tried without success to find where Win 7 is getting the notion that I, the administrator, don't have the credentials to access one of my PCs. Can anyone help me stop this inane message popping up?

The client machine is XP and the Server is 2003.Can someone provide me with an idiot proof step by step guide on what I need to do.

This is my 2nd day working on this issue. I think I've tried every suggestion found on google but no joy still getting:

'You do not have permission to access \\Computer name. Contact your network administrator to request access."

What really bothers me is that it was working for years now just this one computer has this issue. I can access other computer in the network with no problem even on the computer in question I can access other computers but can't browse any shares on it.

Ok, I give up. I've been trying to fix this one my own for two days, and I've got no clue. For some reason I suddenly cannot open or save files on my desktop. It tells me I don't have sufficient permission. My account is the admin account, I've checked the Desktop security settings to make sure I'm still listed as the owner, and I am. If I drag and drop a file from the desktop to another folder, like one of my libraries, it works fine, but if I try to run it off the desktop I get some variation of, "You do not have sufficient permission to access this file".

As I said, I checked permissions and ownership, all seems good. I also did a Restore to 4 days ago, changed nothing.

This box keeps popping up every few minutes asking for me to give permission for my PC to contact it. It also rates it as a HIGH RISK contact.

1) Should I give my permission?

2) I am told this is a Microsoft contact. What info is it sharing to be rated HIGH RISK?

3) Is there a way to block this for good without keep getting the pop-ups? If so, would it affect the performance of my PC in any way.I have Windows updates set to manual and this problem only appeared yesterday morning and I dont recall downloading anything.

However, I did upgrade Norton to the 2005 version about a week ago if this my have anything to do with it.

I cannot find any answers on Google and would be grateful for any assistance with this.Many thanks

I don't use Norton, does it show anything in Norton's Help file about permanently blocking a site?See if this link helps in configuring that site to be permanetly blocked:http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR...56eda00456216&dtype=&prod=&ver=&osv=&osv_lvl=

If I navigate to my pictures, there are no folders or images with dates corresponding to the blank pictures I accessed above.

I upgraded from 7 to 10 about 3 months ago and never noticed this until now. 75% of my pictures are there but there are a number of contiguous dates with multiple blank photos (with file numbers.) Oddly, the pictures I CAN see are both earlier and later than the ones that I "don't have permission for." I have a back up of my stuff so I can get them but I am interested in the *why* and any fix that I ought to apply.

I'm having a lot of trouble with downloading a file, and am in desperate need of help. The file that I try to download simply says "Failed" in Firefox; Chrome decides to do nothing at all when attempting to download in that browser, and IE constantly states that I do not have the right permissions to run or save the file.

The thing is I do have the right permisisons. I am the admin, the only user, with Full Control on everything; including IE and the Downloads folder. This permissions issue crops up now and then and I never understand why, how can I possibly add more permissions to "Full Control"?

Dropbox also failed due to permissions. I'm out of ideas since all of my browsers are failing miserably!

Also tried an email via my friend. Extracted file with WinRAR and what a surprise, Access is denied.

Help please, I just want to download and install a program. That's it.

Answer:File Permission Access Denied

This should likely be in the MS / Windows board. The permissions in question are very likely pertaining to the user account. Most likely the user profile or Windows itself is corrupted. You could try creating a new account and adding Admin rights to that account. That's the extent of my Windows profile expertise.

My original installl starting crapping out and I couldn't boot into the OS, I tired all the different modes ie, safe mode, last know good config. nothing worked. I used another hard drive and install a fresh copy of XP on it. However I still have data on my old drive that I need. So I made an image of the old drive using Acronis Image server and mounted the image onto the new OS. I need to access the "my docs" section. When I try and go into that folder is says permission denied. I tried to take ownership of the folder but it's not working. I am using the same computer name and user name as my old install. Here are some screenshots to illustrate what I am talking about. Any help is appriciated.

Answer:No permission to access certain folders on old XP install

Have you logged in as Real-Administrator from Welcome Screen ?
>Press CTRL-ALT-DEL twice, type in "administrator" and password if any, press enter..

From this logon:

See if you can access the folder then...Do it for Owner.

I don want to share to everybody and I right click the folder propeties then go the security and permission. But i faced a problem is that my other computer cannot find. how to i add the computer name in the list. Please advise me. thanks

Answer:how to set the permission to access the file from other user

You won't be able to assign permissions to the specific computer. Instead you will need to add the person's user account to the permission list.

I recently reformatted my hard drive so before I moved all the files I wanted to my external hard drive.

So I'm all formatted with Windows 7 Ultimate re-installed and I'm trying to move all the files back. For whatever reason, a couple pictures (.jpg) and a couple videos (.avi) will not move or open. They were all contained in the same folder.

It was saying access denied and I needed permission from S-1-5-....gigantic number. So I changed the ownership and permissions of the files and the folders. Now it says I need permission from myself (Laptop/Kevin). I am the only account and have administrator privileges.

Any ideas?

Answer:Cannot access files even after ownership and permission changes

I'll give you what I worked out for myself. Not sure of everything about your problem.

I was an administrator but I edited the permissions on my C drive so I was the only user.

I already had full administrator rights but was unable to uninstall some software, so was just trying everything.

Rebooted pc, everything works fine but certain features I can't seem to access now.

My iphone doesn't appear in My Computer any more. There are other issues aswell.

Answer:loss of access to the iphone after permission changes

basically i want to re-take over all administrator rights.. but im already an admin.. not sure what has happened... but now cant see iphone.. seems to be other admin type problems.. also i have set never to notify for uac, and it still prompts creating directories and moving files in and out of program files etc
